London. The 60s. Two unemployed actors - Withnail (Richard E. Grant) and "I" (Paul McGann) - drown their frustrations in booze, pills and lighter fluid. When Withnail's Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths) offers his cottage, the escape the squalor of their flat for a week in the country. They soon realize they've gone on holiday by mistake with their wits - and friendship - are sorely tested by violent downpours, less-than-hospitable locals, and empty cupboards. An intelligent, superbly acted, the hilarious film, The Criterion Collection is proud to present Bruce Robinson's semi-autobiographical cult favorite in its complete and uncut version.
